Recruitment
Like his teammate and fellow linebacker Osman Savage at St. Frances Academy, there wasn’t much to hear about when it came to Hill-Green and his recruitment. However, he chose Michigan as his future school unexpectedly on May 23.
He had offers from schools such as Wisconsin and Nebraska among his 32 reported opportunities. Hill-Green visited Michigan for the Ohio State game this year.
Readiness Level
Seems like a likely redshirt player in year one, with an opportunity to be a year 2-3 contributor, though he could burn his redshirt on special teams.
Early Enrollee?
Yes
